Seasonal clothing switch out

Every Fall & Spring I make it a priority to assess my closet. Before I moved into a home with more space, I had to make the best of sharing a very small closet with my husband. In the spring, (around May) I gather my ‘Seasonal Tote’ full of my warmer weather clothes and begin the switch out.

I pile all of the cold weather clothes from my closet onto the bed and go through every single item before it goes into storage for 5-6 months.

With a few questions in mind I determine;

Did I wear this piece of clothing this season?

Is it in good shape?

Do I feel good in this?

Is it clean?

If I can answer yes to the above questions, into the ‘seasonal tote’ it goes. If any of the answers are no, it either goes into a donation pile or into the trash.

Once I have emptied the closet of all colder weather clothes, I can then begin to fold or hang all of my spring and summer clothes. Evaluating each piece as place it in the closet, I can assess once again the questions asked above.

This process ensures I only keep in my closet what I truly use and enjoy. There is no point to having clothes in your closet that you don’t like, or don’t flatter your body. Everyone has that favourite t-shirt of pair of jeans. Why not make every piece of clothing you own, your favourite?

I desperately needed Rachel's help, and she delivered! She helped create a functional, organized kitchen where only chaos existed before. Even now, weeks later, it's still clean, because its now easy to clean up! Everything has a place, and it all looks great! Thank you so much!

"Working with Space in your Place was so amazing! She made it so easy to get rid of unused items and organized my daughters room in a way that makes it easy and fun for her to tidy up. I would highly recommend Space in your Place, and look forward to utilizing her organizational skills again!"

"This service is so awesome! My garage never looked so good and I felt so organized. Summer has literally gotten easier now that all I have to do is grab a box and toss it in my car for different activities and put it right back when I get home. Looking forward to the rest of my house!!! Can't say enough good things here"

"I have nothing but great things to say about Rachel & Space in your place!
She helped me reorganize my master closet (which I had avoided dealing with for a while). Happy to say it is (still) a functional organized space!
It's honestly the best feeling to have that closet purged and organized, I wish now I did it sooner. Rachel made the overwhelming situation (that I had procrastinated for a while) effortless for me by checking in with me along the way to see how I was doing, gave some great tips and suggestions along the way too.

You will not be disappointed if you hire Rachel to help you with any room in your house"

Rachel Freeman from Space in your Place Organizing came out to our home and it was amazing. It was like having a good friend sit down with you - separate things into keep, donate and trash, and talked with me about new ways to change up my systems that were failing (LAUNDRY!!). She was kind enough to take the stuff that I set aside for donation too. And thank goodness because otherwise those bags would've sat in my car's trunk for who knows how long.
I'm hoping to save money and set up a few visits for my own parents so they can get a handle on their garage and craft/laundry room (as a Christmas gift).
I highly recommend her - very professional, non-judgmental, friendly and great at what she does.
